Active audiodescription to promote speaking skills in online environments.

Interlingual subtitling has been extensively investigated for language learning and teaching purposes in the last decade. However, there is a lack of research into the creation of subtitles as a means of intercultural learning. This article is a first empirical attempt to verify the potential of subtitling for intercultural language education. It r...

The role of translation in foreign language learning has long been a subject of debate. With the advent of more communicative approaches, a tendency to avoid any type of translation in the language classroom became dominant. After contextualising translation in foreign language learning within some relevant teaching methods and approaches, this pap...

Questo articolo presenterà l’uso della traduzione audiovisiva (AVT) finalizzata allo sviluppo della competenza pragmatica nella classe di italiano lingua straniera (LS). Lo studio trae ispirazione dalla ricerca esistente nel campo della (im)politeness2 e della percezione del linguaggio emotivo tra parlanti non madrelingua (non native speakers: NNS)...

The research on the use of active captioning or subtitling in foreign language learning has considerably increased in the course of the last decade, although there is still lack of evidence as regards the potential advantages of intralingual captioning in this context. The present project attempts to fill this void by analysing the didactic use of...
